Memory_Services and multiple engines

sbotessbotes
in SRP Utilities
I have multiple OI Engines running and each is creating and using memory_services variables. If engine #1 creates a variable called variable 123_lookatme and Engine #2 references 123_lookatme will engine #2 see the variable created by engine #1. All the engines are running on the same computer and started from the same OI session. Or are the variables only available to the engine that set the variable?

    OI Engines each run in their own process spaces, like separate EXEs. So, they never share memory. The only way to share is to use inter-process communication (pipes, tcp/ip, etc.) or a shared file. In this case, that would be an OI table most likely.

    Thanks Kevin. I figured that would be the only way to do it. I am trying to figure out a problem that I would have had the answer to if my question had been responded to with a yes...... back to the drawing board.
